I'd assume he means things like newbies being kicked out of crushbone for meaningless pvp events via unseen hand (read full exp loss fuck you new players), one guild being banned for using anothers strategy while that other guild reaps all the rewards of said guilds ban, <Global OOC> maybe some other stuff i don't know about

i think its cute that you think tons o people left over the reasons you listed... as opposed to being repeatedly griefed, trained, camped, etc.

sure a handful of vztz kids rage quit because they could not handle classic EQ xp rates, or the fact that this server was not being run as an online FPS.

as a staff member, would u like to know the complaint i hear most of all? because they all have to do with griefing.

this may be a hard pill to swallow, but being the loudest opinion does NOT make you the majority opinion.

Does being the most to vote on a poll make you the majority opinion?

There is no experience rate poll, but many many threads started by casuals about it. The experience rate is unfortunately made worse by the population and complete lack of active players in the lower/mid level ranges. Please don't pantomime Harrison's "could not handle classic exp" blinders bullshit. I am personally just fine with the current rate. I am not fine with being forced to grind by myself without even seeing another player or having the option to PvP. I came here to PvP, and I cannot do that here. I could do that on VZTZ and even most of the custom shitboxes. I could do that on Tallon Zek back in 1999. Where exactly does a level 30 player on Red99 go to find active PvP?

The staff should try making new characters on this server, and they will quickly understand where these complaints stem from. It is not "classic" and is months overdue for adjustments to stay more faithful to what a classic red server actually was.

Ames is correct. This does go on the devs, who have chosen to not even make a single post regarding issues that keep getting brought up six months later. Things that could be shut down with literally 30 seconds from Rogean saying "It ain't happening" or "we'll think about it" or anything at all. I think you and Amelinda do work your ass off, so this is not on the GMs.

I agree with you on griefing. It sucks, and it also drives players off. A lot of the red playerbase is completely acidic and shares some of that blame as well.

I hope this server gets turned around and on its feet again. I think it could be, and I still really want to play on a good and active red server. I think it is going to require the devs to actually be active here though. I think bans on players need to actually stick. A lot of things need to happen.

Not hard to realize Red needs a number of easy changes to make mechanics in-line with what players want. Xp loss is not classic. One item loot is classic. I don't see what the issue here is...

May be it has to do with the fact there hasn't been a patch on red/blue in months.

[Harrison]

Sullon Zek had xp loss. Xp loss is classic.

Blue went months without a patch many a time. Blue population was fine.
Blue had slower experience longer, blue population was fine.
Blue server had it rougher, less attention for spans of time than you ungrateful crybabies, blue population was fine.

The problem is elsewhere. (Hint: It's that you can't handle classic Everquest)

While a few more patches would be nice (this affects blue also), the server is way more playable than any previous red box. It had more fixes put into it before it was even launched than VZTZ had in its entire lifespan. Also the devs asked for much more player input than they did before the blue server's release. They also compromised with the playerbase over things like the exp bonus, item recharging, and even global ooc which is apparently going in soon. By the way, Amelinda was the first staff member to suggest global ooc/try convincing the other staff members to implement it, so stop acting like she isn't on your side. Many of you are utterly rude and ungrateful and I'm surprised the staff puts up with it.

[Billbike]

It appears that only about 87 people can handle "classic".

Last person on the server wins EQ.

I believe Sullon allowed trains, therefor trains are "classic" amirite?

[hagard]

What do you mean cant handle classic anyone can mindless grind xp, it's none are willing to. Yeah of course it was no problem on blue that's what blue is all about. Red99 was meant for pvp, but being designed and run by blubies it infect caters to blubies. That is why all the real pvpers are quitting this server.

It's less playable than the unsupported VZTZ clone Secrets put up. The server has so much that other red servers don't, but you're not telling me that logging in to empty mid level zones and being forced to sologrind for hundreds of hours is "classic" (I stopped at level 30 for an entire year on TZ just to pvp - that was classic) nor more playable than other red servers. It isn't.

If they make adjustments based on the low pop then this will be the bar none best red server ever put up, but not till then.

Dunno who you're addressing with that last bit but I'm not ungrateful to any of the staff, especially Amelinda. I just want the server to start doing better. ~_~
